And they brought Him to the place Golgotha, which is translated, Place of a Skull. ...And they crucified Him, & divided up His garments among themselves, casting lots for them, to decide what each should take. And it was the third hour when they crucified Him. And the inscription of the charge again Him read, "THE KING OF THE JEWS." And they crucified two robbers with Him, one on His right and one on His left. [And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "And He was numbered with transgressors."] And those passing by were hurling abuse at Him, wagging their heads, and saying, "Ha! You who are going to destroy the temple & rebuild it in three days, save Yourself, & come down from the cross!" In the same way the chief priests also, along with the scribes, were mocking Him among themselves & saying, "He saved others; He cannot save Himself. Let this Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross so that we may see and believe!" And those who were crucified with Him were casting the same insult at Him.
And when the sixth hour had come, darkness fell over the whole land until the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, Lama Sabachthani?" which is translated, "My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?" ...And Jesus uttered a loud cry, & breathed His last. And the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. And when the centurion, who was standing right in front of Him, saw the way He breathed His last, he said,
"Truly this man was the Son of God!"
Mark 15:22-39 (NASB)
